The Epiphany is the manifestation
of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of
God and Savior of the world. the
great feast of Epiphany celebrates
the adoration of Jesus by the wise
men (magi) from the East, together
with his baptism in the Jordan and
the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee.
In the magi, representatives of the
neighboring pagan religions, the
Gospel sees the first-fruits of the
nations, who welcome the good
news of salvation through the
Incarnation.
The magi's coming to Jerusalem in
order to pay homage to the king of
the Jews shows that they seek in
Israel, in the messianic light of the
star of David, the one who will be
king of the nations.
Their coming means that pagans
can discover Jesus and worship him
as Son of God and Savior of the
world only by turning towards the
Jews and receiving from them the
messianic promise as contained in
the Old Testament.

PRAYER SPONSOR PROGRAM FOR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AND CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES: In order to involve our whole parish community in the Sacrament Program of First Communion and Confirmation we have developed the Prayer Sponsor Program. It involves parishioners like you, who choose to sponsor a Candidate with prayer as they prepare for their Sacraments. Prayer is a powerful way to support our candidates especially as they journey towards God and His Sacraments. Please take an envelope from the basket labeled Prayer Sponsor in the foyers of the church and pray for that Candidate daily. We also encourage you to send them a card or note by dropping it into the “Prayer Sponsor Mailbox” which will be located in the front entrance of the Church. The box will be there until the end of April. We will forward the card or note to the candidate.
